The Sharks and Golden Lions, the two big winners in Round Seven top our startying XV - with five players each.

The Free State Cheetahs, with three players in our ftontline selection, are next best - wuith the Blues Bulls and Western Province (one each) making up the numbers.

The table-topping Sharks also have the most members in our back-up squad, their five plyers bubbling under matches by five from WP.

The Lions are further rewarded with three players in our back-up squad, while the Cheetahs and Griquas (one each) make up the numbers.

Just two players return from last week - wing Andries Coetzee (Golden Lions) and flank Pieter Labuschagne (Free State Cheetahs).

Team of the Week - Round Seven:

15 - Marnitz Boshoff (Golden Lions):
He has that special quality that allows him to shine in whatever position he features. As a fullback he has certainly given the Lions' attack more impetus.Bubbling under: SP Marais (Sharks)

11 - Bjorn Basson (Blue Bulls):
He may not be everybody's cup of team at international level, but his class and pace were all too obvious against some quality Currie Cup players.Bubbling under: Lwazi Mvovo (Sharks)

10 - Fred Zeilinga (Sharks):
Beginning to live up to the hype that was build up around him in the earl stages of the competition.Bubbling under: Kurt Coleman (Western Province)

9 - Nic Groom (Western Province):
Beginning to look like Province's best option at No.9. Maybe time for the rotation to stop.Bubbling under: Charl McLeod (Sharks)

8 - Keegan Daniel (Sharks):
He is beginning to regain his best form, after a slow start to the season.Bubbling under: Derick Minnie (Godlen Lions)

7 - Pieter Labuschagne (Free State Cheetahs):
One of the few Cheetahs who has maintained his Super Rugby form in the Currie Cup competition.Bubbling under: Burger Schoeman (Griquas)

6 - Marcell Coetzee (Sharks):
Showed why he is a member of the Springbok squad. Can certainly do with a bit more game time.Bubbling under: Jaco Kriel (Golden Lions)
